From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Because x.com existed for much longer than x.org?
Mm, too lazy to research but doubt that’s true. X.org is from the 80’s if I remember correctly while x.com was registered in the PayPal era (late 90’s); unless X.org just took a very long time to register that domain.
@railsdev @aperson x.org was founded 2004
What?? No way. Shows what I know. Maybe I’m thinking of X11.
@railsdev yup, that's right x11 was founded 1987
